The rich History of Oak Park continues to surprise; in addition to being the home of the founders of Prairie style architecture (F. L. Wright), a literary form (Ernest Hemingway), modern clinical psychotherapy (Carl Rogers), the inventor of the birth-control pill (Percy L. Julian), the modern TV sitcom (Bob Newhart), it was also the home town of Doris Batcheller Humphrey, one of the founders of modern dance!
